Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a mahogany glow and coppery highlights, suggestive of sherry-fueled warmth.
Nose
Sherry-draped nose with a chorus of dried dark fruits—prune, fig, and raisin—lifted by orange rind and a whisper of cocoa. Rich toffee and vanilla oak weave through, punctuated by toasted almond and a light spice of cinnamon and clove. A faint herbal note and a touch of leather round out the aromatics, hinting at a long, elegant finish.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, the palate opens with dark prune and fig, weaving into cocoa, toasted almond, and caramelized sugar. Sherry influence lends nutty warmth, with a whisper of leather and spice—cinnamon and clove—softly rippling across the tongue. Velvety oils coat the mouth, finishing with orange zest, oak, and a lingering, comforting warmth.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish breathes warm oak with dark fruit, leaving cocoa and raisin notes to linger. Subtle spice and a whisper of leather gradually emerge, delivering a velvety, softly spiced afterglow that carries on the palate.
